At the scene, Liu Ping emotionally watched as the gate slowly opened, and everyone’s gaze fell there.
An official led Liu Yongzhi out through the gate. He was wearing a black jacket, and his entire demeanor gave off a sense of hardship.
The clothes that Liu Yongzhi wore were personally selected by Huang Youjie and Liu Ping yesterday. They then sent these clothes to him so that Liu Yongzhi could don a new set of clothes. However, Liu Yongzhi’s hair remained classically clipped short.
"Liu Ping, your father is out,"
Seeing this, Huang Youjie quickly said to Liu Ping beside him.
Liu Ping stood in place, his feelings complexity.
Every day in the past, Liu Ping hoped that his father could regain his freedom. However, when he saw his father come out at that moment, Liu Ping felt relieved, as if his strength has been drained.
Liu Ping has no memory of his father, Liu Yongzhi, from his childhood because Liu Yongzhi was arrested when Liu Ping had just been born.
Liu Ping was raised by his grandparents, who told him that his father was wronged. However, as his grandparents aged and their health deteriorated, they lacked the strength to continue fighting for his father’s acquittal.
So, Liu Ping has held onto this belief ever since.
Now, this belief has been achieved. His father, Liu Yongzhi, has regained his freedom. Liu Ping was excited, but there was also an indescribable sense of gratitude.
Seeing Liu Ping stunned in place, Huang Youjie gently nudged him and asked, "Do you feel strange?"
"Yes." Liu Ping honestly nodded.
For Liu Ping, the middle-aged man who walked out of the gate in front of him was completely unfamiliar. But Liu Ping knew that he was his father,
So, Liu Ping still took a deep breath and walked toward the front.
"I heard that my son, Liu Ping, is here, where is he?" Liu Yongzhi came out, saw so many people, saw everyone celebrating his regained freedom, but what he wanted to know the most was which one was his son.
Years ago, Liu Yongzhi suffered a huge injustice. His biggest regret was that he did not watch his son grow up and had missed eighteen years with his son.
Wouldn’t it be that by now, apart from the blood ties, he and his son had become two strangers?
At NTS News, Xiao Liu told the cameraman, Wu, to zoom in a bit.
Soon, the live broadcast from NTS News zoomed in to Liu Yongzhi. Outside the camera frame, a young man walked into the picture.
"We see that Liu Ping, a student from Mist City Arts and Science University, has already arrived at his father, Liu Yongzhi’s side."
Reporter Xiao Li reported live.
Millions of netizens are in the live stream of NTS News, watching this scene.
"Tears in my eyes, I wonder what feelings Liu Ping has at this moment."
"Ah, father and son finally meet."
"Eighteen years, so tough, those who wrongly accused him should be damned!"
"As Professor Luo Xiang said, this incident will promote the development of our country’s legal system."
"I’m watching the live broadcast to see this scene."
"So, Liu Ping basically hasn’t seen his father since he was born?"
In the picture, Liu Yongzhi stood stunned.
As a father, upon hearing from the officials that the young man in front of him was his son, he didn’t know what to say.
And Liu Ping, looking at this rather unfamiliar middle-aged man, also stood dumbfounded.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment, with the surrounding people all falling silent. Even the live-broadcasting press and media teams did not make a sound.
When Ding Yue saw this scene during the live broadcast in his office, he could not help but feel a pang in his heart.
The father and son meeting again became so quiet.
"Woo woo woo, Principal Ding, it’s so touching. Liu Ping finally sees his father who has regained his freedom." Wen Ruohan, the secretary at his side, had already started crying loudly from her emotions.
Girls always seemed more vulnerable. Seeing this scene on the live broadcast, coupled with the fact that this was happening close to home, and that Liu Ping was a fellow student at Mist City Arts and Science University, made it easier to stir up her emotions.
Not only Wen Ruohan, but also the millions of netizens watching the scene in NTS News’ live broadcast, all felt heartbroken.
